Configuring Audit Settings

Configure Auditing in P6 so that you can produce reports about incremental changes to projects and project related data. You can view audit data collected by this process on the Audit panel of the EPS page, or by running reports to retrieve audit data from the database. See: P6 EPPM Reporting Guide.

Note:

Table auditing involves an increased amount of interaction between P6 and the database, which can affect performance.

To configure Auditing:

  1. On the "" Navigation Menu, expand "" Administration, then click Application Settings.
  2. On the Application Settings page, click Audit.
  3. On the Audit page:
    1. In the Interval to store user login information (in days) field, enter a number of days.
    2. In the Interval to store audit information (in days) field, enter a number of days.
    3. In the Select the tables and operations to audit list, select a table or operation to audit and click Add.
    4. In the Audit Tables section:
      • Select Audit Insert to audit insertions to the table.
      • Select Audit Update to audit updates to data in the table.
      • Select Audit Delete to audit deletions of data in the table.

        Note:

        • Select Audit Insert to see when new rows have been added to that table. For example, auditing inserts on the PROJECT table will show you when someone has created a new project.
        • Select Audit Update to see when data in a table has been edited. For example, auditing updates on the PROJECT table will show you when someone has changed the name or other properties of a Project.
        • Select Audit Delete to see when data in a table has been deleted. For example, auditing deletes on the PROJECT table will show you when someone has deleted a project.
    5. Select Enable auditing for all tables.
  4. Click Save.

Tip:

  • Table auditing records data about changes to projects and project related data items to the PAUDIT table. To be able to view audit data, you must also configure and enable the Publish Audit Data service.
  • To stop auditing on a particular table, remove it from the list by selecting ""Remove, or by clearing all three audit options for that table.
  • If you need to suspend all auditing without changing the configuration of the actions and tables which will be audited, clear the Enable auditing for all tables option.
